Strengths: Affordable- awesome performance for the price. Several color choices. Cold-forged = strong stiff and precise!Weaknesses: None!Bottom Line: This chainring is 100% worth the money. I used it to replace the SRAM ones on my force crank that had a messed up tooth. I'm not super knowledgeable about bike parts but my shop told me about this company and the cold forging process and how it makes these stronger, stiffer and precise for better shifting. It's a pretty cool story so I decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did. I noticed a difference right away- my shifting is crisper and it feels great.

Strengths: Perfect shifting! Good looks, light weight at 128 grams for both ringsWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I have used the Praxis Works Chainring set in std 53/39 format for the last 5-6 months. I mostly do recreational rides from 40-60 miles. I do alot of hil climbing. The chainset has shifted flawlessly on both my Di2 10 speed C59 and my Campy SR11 C50. The dealer support has been very good and they look very good. And would definitely buy this set again.

Strengths: Stiffness, Smoothness, looks and uniqueness! What else is there?Weaknesses: None I am aware of!Bottom Line: I am at that age that cycling is now just a hobby a hobby I am into 100%. I love the technology the new products and like to think I am pretty knowledgable when it comes to knowing about things related to cycling and the products we ride. I first purchased the 53/39 rings from Praxis to replace my Rotor rings on my Rotor crank. I found the look the finish and the shifting was very noticeably better. So I thought I would compare it to a set of Shimano rings on another bike. I must say I could not see a difference in stiffness and had a tendency to like the shift on the Praxis better. It was simply smooth and easy. I recently purchased a set of compact rings from Praxis and must say wow! If you do not have Shimano rings on your bike and have any other crank on the planet you need these rings. The shift is simply smooth and efficient. When pedaling it is like they are not even there they are so smooth when riding. The Leva Time shifting seems to work very well and I do not know if I will ever ride anything else. For the price the stiffness and the quality of the finish there is nothing that compares in my mind. I have 2 sets of these rings and love them both for they both perform the same in my mind when it comes to shifting and smoothness whether you are on the compact rings or the standard. This is probably one of the best upgrades to your bike that you could make for such a small price. You will be very impressed with them, and they look great on the bike!

Strengths: Perfect shifting. Light weight. Looks.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I remember reading about Praxis Works chainrings some months back and decided to give them a try. Praxis Works rings replaced my Sram Red compact rings. While I like Sram components, their rings aren't the smoothest shifting. Contacted Praxis Works and spoke with Adam. After talking to Adam for a while, I felt really pumped about giving their rings a try. Purchased a set and received them in a couple of days. Installation was simple, just make sure you have the two rings mated properly. Had to do a small derailleur adjustment and I was off for a test ride.
These rings are amazing. Started off on the big ring and dropped down to the small ring. Smooth as could be. The real test would be shifting from the small ring to the big ring. With my Sram rings there would be a delay before the chain would catch. Not bad, but still a delay. Not so with the Praxis rings The shifting with the Praxis rings was immediate, no noise, just smooth as silk. The only way I knew that it actually shifted was my pedaling cadence was slower. All that I can say is wow! I didn't realize that rings could make that big of a difference.
Anyone that is looking for new rings, I say, give these a try. It wouldn't surprise me to see these as stock items on new bikes in the future.
